A very candid picture of Santa spending all his coints on online shopping

It's the holiday time and many of us have too much time on our hands. With those extra days off of work, it can get a little boring. If you're any thing like me, you've been desperately looking for something to help keep you entertained. However, you are still interested in making a little bit of money, look no further. I have the cure to your holiday boredom. Here's what I've been up to in order to keep myself busy and make a few extra bucks for holiday time.

1. RobinhoodAlthough Robinhood is trading actual stocks in real time, I've had fun trading penny stocks and I've actually seen a profit. I've invested less than $50 to start and If you use my link to sign up for Robinhood, I'll get a free stock and so will you. In three days, you can sell that stock and use the money as seed money for playing around with pennystocks.

2. Boomtown BingoIt seems like something your grandma would do after Christmas, but Bingo is a legit way to pass the time and make money online without putting anything up. It's actually super entertaining and Boomtown is easy to use.

3. Freelance WriterCompanies like eBay and Hearst Magazines outsource their article writing during the holiday time. An hour a day could rake in some extra dollars, increase your writing skills and your knowledge on a particular subject matter. So far this month, I've raked in $500 in freelance articles and you can too.

4. Poshmark

Poshmark takes window shopping to the next level. Although Poshmark is popular for buying stuff, you can sell stuff too in your own time. You can spend hours sorting and sifting through profiles, building a closet and occasionally promoting your own stuff to sell. In the last 3 months, I've made over $250 on Poshmark selling worn clothing and shoes that I no longer use that was just taking up space in my closet.
